*his* fathers bone to get his body back. Maybe Crouch sr. as a bone is
a little hint from JKR as to what Voldemort can do about Barty's soul??<<

but his soul isn't, so in what way could his father's soul-less bone
be of any use? What Barty Jr needs is spare "spiritual stuff", not
spare "body stuff".
Personally, the mental connection I make is between buried bones and
dogs.<<


So I write:
I always assumed that Barty Jr. transfigured his father in the first
place because if someone was digging in the garden, like someone is
likely to do, and they can across a bone, they would not think twice.
 Just toss it aside and let Fang chew on it.  (Poor Crouch Sr.)  Now,
if they came across the dead body of Crouch Sr., then sirens would
sound.  They would know there is foul play afoot.

I don't think this could affect your theory Mecki since either way,
Crouch Jr. has the bones of his father if such a potion exists.
Though as GulPlum said, it is his soul, the essence of a person, that
is removed.  Making a body is one thing.  Making a soul is entirely
another.  But what am I say.  This is magic.  But can magic create a soul?
